TOUR DESCRIPTION:

Thousands of spectacular glow worms have created a magical colony in a hidden canyon only a short distance from our retreat. Our fully guided night walk takes you right into the heart of our glow worm colony and offers a rare opportunity to observe some of nature’s very special light emitting creatures living in our own backyard!

Imagine walking through a dark canyon surrounded by thousands of spectacular Glow Worms. As you turn off the head torches and let your eyes adjust to the low-light conditions, more and more of these fascinating creatures begin to reveal themselves right before your eyes.

Our small personalised tour includes an interactive fact session as you walk down into the heart of our private Glow Worm habitat. You will have plenty of time to experience up-close these exciting bio-luminescent creatures in an undisturbed natural environment.

Supervised photo opportunities will be provided with assistance from the tour guide - so make sure you bring your smartphone or camera.

To complete the tour you must have confident walking skills - the track contains some large steps, slippery and uneven surfaces (including small amounts of mud) and a short hill climb at the end of the walk. If you have mobility issues or injury please contact the tour organiser before booking the tickets. The tour is NOT suitable for elderly people or young children under 9 years old.

TOUR DURATION:

In total our tour takes about 1hr including walking to and from the glow worm canyon. Occassionally tours can run 5 minutes late so if you have booked a later tour please be prepared to wait a little extra for the preceeding tour group to finish.

Refunds will not be given if you do not attend the tour, are late or simply forget. It is recommended that you arrive 5 minutes prior to the tour start time to ensure you have adequate time to check-in.

If you are eligible for a refund this can take up to 2 weeks to process after the tour date. (due to bank transfer times).

WEATHER CONDITIONS:

The Glow Worm Tour will generally operate in the rain - infact Glow Worms like the rain and often produce a more exciting display in wet weather.

In the event of rain, please assume the tour is going ahead as planned and proceed to the starting point - the Wollemi Wilderness Tours Tour Guide will supply good quality rain jackets for each participant. If an assessment is made that the weather conditions are unsafe the Tour Guide will inform participants as early as possible that it has been cancelled.

IMPORTANT: In the event of bad weather do not assume the tour has been cancelled. Please ensure you proceed to the tour starting point on time.
